info:
  title: NCPA (Nagios Cross-Platform Agent) Services API
  description: 'REST API exposed by the Nagios Cross-Platform Agent (NCPA) running on

    Linux, Windows, or macOS. The API uses a hierarchical node-based URL

    structure (`/api/{module}/{node1}/{node2}`) and is authenticated by a

    `token` query parameter matching the `community_string` in the agent

    config. Both active polls and Nagios-style passive check results are

    supported.
